Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall حسب Pintus, Gianfranco

"…Angiotensin II (Ang II) amplifies TGF-β1 activation in the VSMCs of the arterial wall with aging. In this study, we hypothesized that a reduced expression of the protein vasorin plays a contributory role in magnifying Ang II-associated fibrogenic signaling in the VSMCs of the arterial wall with aging. …"

Pd nanocrystals encapsulated in MOF-derived Ni/N-doped hollow carbon nanosheets for efficient thermal CO oxidation: unveiling the effect of porosity حسب Ipadeola, Adewale K.

"…Rational synthesis of Ni-metal-organic-framework (MOF)-derived hollow N-doped carbon (Ni-MOF-HNC) nanostructures has garnered great attention in various catalytic reactions due to their outstanding catalytic and physicochemical merits, but their activity toward thermal CO oxidation (COOxid) is not emphasized enough. Herein, we tailored the fabrication of Ni-MOF-HNC encapsulated Pd nanocrystals (Pd/Ni-MOF-HNC) for efficient COOxid at low temperature, driven by microwave-irradiation, annealing at 900 °C and chemical etching to form Ni-MOF-HNC that is used as a support for the growth of Pd nanocrystals under microwave-irradiation. …"

Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, phys... حسب Nasrallah, Gheyath

"…Although its efficacy was established in one small cohort clinical trial, its potential adverse effect was not adequately addressed. We utilized zebrafish model to assess S-DFO toxicity using following assays: mortality, teratogenicity, hatching rate, tail flicking, Acridine Orange staining for apoptosis detection, o-dianisidine staining for hemoglobin synthesis, and the level of Hsp70 as a general stress indicator. …"

Quantification of the growth suppression of HER2+ breast cancer colonies under the effect of trastuzumab and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. حسب Padmanabhan, Regina

"…Precisely, several questions regarding the right combination of drugs, drug modality, and effective dose recommendations pertaining to the use of ICB-based therapy for HER2+ patients remain unanswered. In this study, we use a mathematical modeling-based approach to quantify the growth inhibition of HER2+ breast cancer (BC) cell colonies (ZR75) when treated with anti-HER2; trastuzumab (TZ) and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 (BMS-202) agents. …"

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions حسب Lazar, M.

"…Electrostatic (ES) wave instabilities are assumed to be at the origin of radio emissions from interplanetary shocks, and solar coronal sources are most likely induced by electron beams, more energetic but less dense than electron strahls in the solar wind. In this paper, we present the results of a new dispersion and stability analysis for electron populations with Kappa velocity distributions, as often indicated by in situ observations. …"
